Podcasts about Crowdsourcing

February 21 | Crowdsourcing (Exodus 25:1-9) by Christ Covenant

Jamie Andrews discusses his journey from geology to virology, questioning the mechanisms and validity of virus transmission and pathogenic theories, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on historical and contemporary controlled human infection studies, Andrews suggests that viruses do not spread as traditionally believed and criticizes the reliance on PCR tests for diagnosing viral infections. He also questions the role of global institutions in shaping scientific narratives, proposing that environmental factors and industrial toxins may play a more significant role in disease than viruses.00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:20 Journey into Virology and 2020 Events01:21 Geology Background and Climate Data04:48 Skepticism and Investigations10:28 Controlled Human Infection Models11:25 Spanish Flu and Historical Experiments15:42 Modern Virology and Contagion Studies31:36 Court Cases and Legal Battles39:01 Realizing the Potential of Independent Research40:21 Crowdsourcing and Engaging CROs41:16 Following Standard Laboratory Protocols41:56 Unexpected Findings in Cell Cultures45:22 Microscopy and Viral Morphologies49:36 Challenges with Mainstream Virology54:58 Genetic Sequencing and Future Research01:02:05 Debating Historical Disease Outbreaks01:10:20 Concluding Thoughts and Future Directionshttps://x.com/JamieAA_Againhttps://substack.com/@controlstudies=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Wie lassen sich verkrustete Sitzungsformate aufbrechen und echte Partizipation in politischen Gremien ermöglichen? In dieser Episode des Liberating Structures Praxispodcasts spricht Christian Weinert mit Katharina Nolden, Expertin für Eignungsdiagnostik und Facilitation, über ein spannendes Experiment: Den Transfer moderner Kollaborationsmethoden in die lokale Parteiarbeit. Ausgangspunkt des Gesprächs ist die oft frustrierende Realität klassischer Ortsverbandssitzungen – geprägt von Monologen, Zeitnot und passiver Zuhörerschaft. Katharina Nolden schildert, wie sie ihre Enttäuschung über Bundestagswahlergebnisse in konstruktives Engagement umwandelte und begann, die Treffen der Grünen in Langenhagen mithilfe von Liberating Structures neu zu gestalten. In dieser Folge erfahrt ihr: • Vom Monolog zum Dialog: Wie Mikrostrukturen wie Impromptu Networking und 1-2-4-All eine inklusive Atmosphäre schaffen, in der auch neue Mitglieder sofort Gehör finden. • Strategische Effizienz: Wie Methoden wie 25/10 Crowdsourcing und Ecocycle Planning genutzt wurden, um Haushaltsanträge zu priorisieren und Jahrespläne zu strukturieren – mit dem Ergebnis, dass eine Klausurtagung zwei Stunden früher als geplant und mit höherer Zufriedenheit beendet werden konnte. • Strukturelle Klarheit: Der Einsatz von Purpose-to-Practice, um Rollenverständnisse und die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Fraktion und Ortsverband transparent zu definieren. • Demokratische Resilienz: Warum professionelle Moderation und effiziente Abläufe im Ehrenamt kein Luxus sind, sondern ein wesentlicher Faktor, um politisches Engagement attraktiv zu halten und dem Gefühl der Machtlosigkeit entgegenzuwirken. Eine inspirierende Fallstudie für alle, die Meetings – ob im Verein, im Unternehmen oder in der Politik – nicht nur absitzen, sondern aktiv und ergebnisorientiert gestalten wollen.

Deepak Puri, CEO of The Democracy Labs, shines a light on how free and low-cost apps can simplify political intrigue and complex social issues and be used to educate and motivate.  Visualization tools for relationship mapping, accountability mapping, and crowdsourcing increase civic engagement, hold elected officials accountable, and counter disinformation and conspiracy theories. Deepak and I talk about: Relationship mapping tools such as Kumu.io which are effective for exposing hidden financial and personal connections between individuals and organizations Accountability maps from Esri that serve to directly connect decisions of elected officials to tangible consequences and outcomes in their districts Crowdsourcing apps like Padlet which is a way to engage individuals in real-time information gathering and mobilization allowing for rapid response and collective documentation of events #TheDemLabs #PoliticalAccountability #DataVisualization #CivicEngagement #PoliticalTransparency #SocialJustice #VotingRights #CitizenJournalism #PoliticalData #CommunityOrganizing #Kumuio #Esri #Padlet TheDemLabs.org

Dominic Piscopo didn't set out to disrupt the accounting world, he just wanted to know if he was being paid fairly. That simple question led him from pen-and-paper salary surveys at Deloitte to building Big 4 Transparency, a crowdsourced database now relied on by countless people in accounting. On Episode 241 of The Unique CPA, Dominic talks to Randy about how a weekend project snowballed into a vital resource for accountants, empowering individuals to advocate for themselves and helping firms confront the "loyalty tax" that drives talent away. He outlines the surprising power of open data, with openness a key to why he refuses to put a paywall between accountants and the information they need. Dominic has pushed through the challenges he's faced in the project with trust and accuracy in the data and has ultimately forged a truly useful tool for the profession.

Prediction markets are a hot topic again — even cartoon characters are talking about them (South Park). But beyond the buzz, what is a prediction market, exactly? How do they work, how are they designed, and what makes them work?We answer all these questions and more in this deep-dive featuring experts Alex Tabarrok (professor of economics at George Mason University) and Scott Kominers (a16z crypto research partner and Harvard Business School professor), in conversation with Sonal Chokshi.While we originally covered this topic during last year's election, the discussion is more relevant than ever today, as we go into the claims people make about prediction markets — what they're good for (and not); how they fit in with other trends like AI, futarchy, and the crisis in scientific publishing; and where blockchains and crypto come in.This is your definitive explainer on the topic.for transcript, links, and more: https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/podcast/prediction-markets-explained/ As a reminder: None of the following should be taken as business, investment, legal, or tax advice; please see a16z.com/disclosures for more important information.

LMArena cofounders Anastasios N. Angelopoulos, Wei-Lin Chiang, and Ion Stoica sit down with a16z general partner Anjney Midha to talk about the future of AI evaluation. As benchmarks struggle to keep up with the pace of real-world deployment, LMArena is reframing the problem: what if the best way to test AI models is to put them in front of millions of users and let them vote? The team discusses how Arena evolved from a research side project into a key part of the AI stack, why fresh and subjective data is crucial for reliability, and what it means to build a CI/CD pipeline for large models.They also explore:Why expert-only benchmarks are no longer enough.How user preferences reveal model capabilities — and their limits.What it takes to build personalized leaderboards and evaluation SDKs.Why real-time testing is foundational for mission-critical AI.Follow everyone on X:Anastasios N.

with @ilblackdragon @rhhackettWelcome to web3 with a16z. I'm your host, Robert Hackett.In this episode, we're diving deep into one of the most intriguing intersections in tech today: AI and crypto.To help us unpack it, we're joined by Illia Polosukhin — co-founder of the crypto protocol NEAR and co-author of the groundbreaking 2017 "transformers" paper that kicked off the current AI boom. Ilia has been early to some of the biggest recent tech trends, and today he brings us a rare, panoramic view of the tech industry's cutting edge.Together we explore what the phrase “user-owned AI” really means; why the so-called agentic internet — that is, a world where your AI assistant talks directly to services on your behalf — might replace the very notion of websites and apps as we know them; and much more.Timestamps:(0:00) Introduction(3:40) Centralization and Challenges of AI(6:17) "User-Owned" AI(12:14) Confidential Computing and AI(17:51) The Birth of Transformers(22:33) NEAR AI and Crowdsourcing(27:56) AI Agents and Future Applications(31:04) The End of Websites and Applications(34:08) Dead Internet Theory & Distinguishing Humans(41:49) Open Source vs. Open Weight Models(43:48) Geopolitical Implications of AI(46:55) NEAR Protocol and Blockchain Scaling(59:29) The Role of Humans in an AI WorldResources:Attention is all you need by Vaswani et al.

Philippe is the Founder of CrowdSec, an open-source multiplayer firewall that analyzes visitor behavior and provides an adapted response to all kinds of attacks. It leverages crowdsourced power to generate a global IP reputation database that protects the user network. As of today, CrowdSec boasts 250k+ user installations from 185+ countries and 50M+ malevolent IPs blocked. The CrowdSec community's users include governments, major e-commerce actors, media and financial institutions, armed forces, universities, hospitals, research centers, and others—the company raised $15M+ in series A funding just last year! The company's ingenious software is built on the idea of “safer together.” Not only does CrowdSec block individual user attacks, but it also identifies each malevolent IP address during an attack. It uses this information to protect everyone in the CrowdSec community from future attacks. Philippe received an MBA in Computer Sciences from EPITA. He has created five start-up companies and is a seed investor in ten others. He is on the front line of major innovations in tech use and security, and he loves to share his wealth of knowledge in podcasts and public speaking events. Philippe loves to discuss: The most significant issue facing cybersecurity is how open-source cybersecurity platforms combat them. Why multiplayer firewalls can help limit zero-day attacks and minimize cyberwar from attempting to “divide and conquer” businesses. Why does Philippe believe malevolent IP attacks are growing in size, and how can everyday users equip themselves to protect their data? https://crowdsec.net/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/philippehumeau/?originalSubdomain=fr&original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F

Some birds are famous for being extinct, like the Dodo and the passenger pigeon.But how do we prevent species from reaching that point? One of the starting points is to try and track down the birds that are “lost to science.” These are birds that have not been documented in over a decade, but just might still be out there, if we look for them.A new study analyzed data, images, and recordings from platforms that crowdsource observations from all over the world to identify birds “lost to science.” In total, the project, called The Search for Lost Birds identified 126 such species.SciFri producer Kathleen Davis is joined by Dr. John Mittermeier, director of the Search for Lost Birds at the American Bird Conservancy to talk more about the findings of this research and what it's like to track down a “lost” bird.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
